You’ve tried positive reinforcement, time-outs and tough love, but still your weather is very, very bad. We suggest the Downtown Loft Parka. To repel tantrum-like tempests, the long coat’s satin polyester shell has a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. Recalcitrant low temps? The Traceable Down (third-party-verified, non-live-plucked, non-force-fed) 600-fill-power duck down can deal with them. When back-talking snow flies, unzip the tall collar and a hood is at the ready. The 2-way full-length zipper with a wind flap sets limits on disobedient wind gusts, and the zippered on-seam handwarmer pockets and interior zippered chest pocket store weather-proofing essentials, such as a hip flask. Redesigned style lines, a below-the-knee length, a dropped hem in back and elegant contoured quilting make you feel great, even when you resort to bribery.

I live in Teton Valley with temps that sometime reach 50 below during the winter. Because its a long coat filled with down it keeps you warm. Good for most activities, classy too. Wish it had an adjustable draw cord on the hood that could be tightened for when the wind is blowing in your face. Great coat!

After doing a lot of research and reading many reviews...I have ordered this long, 800 fill coat in black and am extremely thrilled! It had the best reviews-I'm 5'8" and 125lbs and I ordered the medium. I feel that it is true to size and I highly recommend it! It is not bulky and does not make you look like you are wearing a garbage bag! I wore it to Chicago where the weather was 19 degrees and I was very, very warm!

This is a great coat and the styling,slight sheen to the fabric, and subtle tone-on-tone Patagonia insignia on the lower left sleeve (instead of the usual blaring white insignia in the chest area) make it dressier than most down coats. I ordered the classic black,but the gray is really a beautiful color too, it was a tough choice. I am 5'7" and 140 lbs and my measurements are in the upper range of the size medium, but I ordered the large because I have some bulky cable knit sweaters. If I were going to wear a lighter layer, the medium would have been okay, but it is a slimmer fit in the torso area. It does flare out a bit towards the bottom, allowing for movement. The sleeve and overall length is great for a taller person.
